The Hard Way: Adapt, Survive and Win

Having read all the books by Who Dares Wins instructors [and enjoyed them too] I was looking forward to reading this one. After all, Mark is an ace sniper and served in the SAS for two decades. He earned an MBE for leading a hostage-saving mission. He tracked down, acquired and delivered mass killers to the War Crimes Tribunal. Along with many other perilous missions. But we don't get to hear about them! Subsequently, I found the book a little light. There is little, to nothing, about his time in the SAS.

He focuses on his life outside of the Special Forces. No doubt Mark has had a tough upbringing. Plus he's done a lot too but the general lack of depth and detail was disappointing. It felt like a summary. A collection of anecdotes designed to capitalise on his celebrity. Plus the writing was poor too. I suspect the other members of Who Dares Wins used experienced ghost writers? Anyway, all a bit disappointing and mediocre I'm afraid.
